Synopsis

When someone is grieving, what should you say? How can you help? How do you comfort without offering shallow platitudes? The Book of Comforts stands in the gap between suffering and hope, offering readers the abiding comfort found in Scripture and personal experience.Readers will gain:Long-term comfort from scripturally focused entriesA deeper understanding of their grief, loss, and pain, and discover the richness of God's loveA meaningful way to walk through hurt, heartache, challenges, and difficulty through the truth of God's Word Scripture deals plainly and honestly with suffering and simultaneously points people to the rich hope we find in God. The Book of Comforts is a beautiful and comforting book for those in hard places--because even though we don't always know what to say, the gift of divine consolation is always helpful.
